Which Jolly Pirates Cruise Should You Book?

Pick the morning snorkel if you want maximum value and three snorkel stops including the Antilla shipwreck. It’s the most popular option and runs about 4 hours.

Pick the afternoon cruise if you’re not a morning person. Same snorkel route, slightly shorter, often less crowded.

Pick the sunset cruise for the open bar, the music, and the famous rope swing. This is the party boat — book it if you want fun over snorkeling.
